Despite The Odds Being Slim, Bidding For The Chartering Of Petrobras’ P-78 And P-79 Units Brings Hope To Brazilian Shipowners

Among the main points of Petrobras’ strategic plan, focusing on its resources in the pre-salt and optimizing revenue is a priority for the state-owned company. The latter, as everyone knows, has directly impacted Brazilian shipbuilding, as large projects for the construction of FPSO platforms are much cheaper abroad (especially in shipyards on the Asian continent).

With the bids for the construction of the P-78 and P-79 units launched in 2020 and currently in progress, hope arises that Petrobras will once again look toward national shipbuilding, especially regarding job creation, which is a primary demand for those who are professionals restricted to this sector.

Diversification of Services, Less Dependence on Petrobras

In a not-so-distant past, Brazilian shipbuilding was heavily dependent on demands from Petrobras. Nowadays, there are several projects and technological innovations underway. Some recent examples include:

Construction of 6 More Tugs at the Wilson Sons Shipyard
The Prosub Submarine Program of the Brazilian Navy
Ecovix Shipyard
Navy Frigates Project in Itajaí
Among others that you can follow in the Naval Industry, Ports, and Shipyards section of the CPG Portal.

P-78 and P-79 will be implemented in the massive Búzios field, currently the most important pre-salt asset of Petrobras. They will be high-specification units that will be part of the Basic Reference Project, adopting new technologies and the state-owned company’s commitment to low carbon emissions. The expectation is that these platforms will begin operations in 2025.

Diversification of Services, Less Dependence on Petrobras

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
